Wind Turbine Testimonials
it work in high wind conditions. I have only praise
for the design, function, and durability. It is a very quiet
turbine, a barely audible whispering hiss could be heard while
standing at the base of the mast and had no detectable vibration
of any kind. I do not have any testing equipment to give you
technical data. I did wire in an indicator to let me know when
the dump load was being powered. The turbine is on the short
mast as you have advised, with the 6 blade prop, wired into a
12 V DC battery bank, using the SEA charge controller per your
diagram. A no frills, basic, stock setup. The indicator went
off and on as the batteries were discharged and replenished.

My name is Ro?? ??oke. I purchased three wind turbines for my home in rural Philippines. I want to share with you my success with your product. I installed your turbines back in 2012 and have use them to light my home there. As you know of the recent Typhoon there in the Philippines, well your wind turbines with stood winds of 125 per hour winds plus and provided a source of light and hope in a hopeless time. Sir after seeing what your product can bring to acountry like the Philippines moves me to ask you. How can I work closely with you to bring this product to a market where it is needed. Looking forward to your thoughts.

wind turbines and I am modifying an old junker to run on both or either;
biodiesel or electric.... May have motor questions on this later.
unable to work a regular job any longer.
except for the turbines and panels. You recommended AIMS inverters to me
and we will buy these as well as distribute them here. I also shopped for
and found reconditioned forklift batteries, all due to your web site and
phone conversations.
everyone to you when possible.

low in about 18 hours with very low wind.
My question on the sea 440 is the 12v system hook up the way to hook it up to dump if battery
are full or should it be hookup the way it shows in the dump mode. It showes fuse on both sides
of the load which is right. and is there a + or - side of the relay.On 12v system it looks like bottom
is plus and top is minus. The dump mode I don't know which is plus or minus.
Thanks for your help and thanks for good product - can't wait to set up another 120 system

The microphone in this video was placed only about 12" away from the blades
so you can clearly "hear" the power and spin speed. At distance these blades
are surprisingly quiet and non-offensive to be around. Very neighbor friendly.
through our place the blades held up great, Fantastic blades.

Hello Thermodyne
hard to install wind turbines. I built these Y towers and
I put these up last Sunday, but we have had some gusts
output since I upgraded to 4 turbines. It sure beats the
wind. The 30 Amps I recorded last night were in an
PMA maxed out over 75 volts and the blades held together with wind gusts over 50 MPH. What a great product. I just need a controller that won't
smoke with these high wind surges, what do you recommend?
Hey qaz , yes I have a set of your 28" blades
which is why I have purchased more from you. I have spent the
last year doing R&D in my spare time on various products
from you and many other companies on line for small wind and
solar. I have a full time electrical company so my time is limited
to the winter months. Please understand that I am in no way trying
to infringe on your products or your business and the few sales
that I would do in the winter time would not even compare to
the volume you do. With that being said I hope we can keep the
communication between us now that I have your attention. The
29" blades that I purchased from the seller "hi_iq"
are: thinner and have a reverse blade tip pitched back the opposite
to the base hoping to get the blade to yield away from the tower
in higher winds but in fact interferes with the performance of
the blade. With your blades my machine starts at 9 mph and quickly
speeds up to a blur, with hi_iq's blades on my machine it doesn't
start to spin until 14 mph and just sort of "lolly gags
around" giving me no charge. I am using 10si Delco remy
alternators completely stripped and rebuit from scratch with
1" x 2" N50 magnets in my core which gives me huge
power potential but serious cogging issues for the blades to
overcome. My resources are limited and am still looking for a
cheap supplier of special would stators as I don"t have
a stator winder and angling my magnets to overcome the cogging
like yours is not an option with those big magnets jammed in
that little PMA. On another note I think you need to have a discussion
with the sellers that are using your pics of wind turbines to
sell theirs, I have noticed you have built up a good rep it would
be a shame to let other sellers destroy it by using your famous
pics. Anyway I could ramble all night, I have included a pic
of my machine, if you have any questions about anything contact
me and I hope to do a lot of business with you in the near future.
Thanks andrew????
volts out of my indiana general dv pm motor,there scarey sometimes, im
putting it on youtube for all to see, thanks again

The Hornet I purchased is finally up & flying. I had concerns with my neighbors regarding the visual aspect & possible noise if and when the wind decides to blow over our area.
I recall describing my plans for the Hornet's ultimate use in the Black Rock desert and eventually the windy mountain region of Costa Rica.
At the moment it's being tested with a portable DC/AC power center. On the first day of operation, two of our neighbors came over ( one of which I was certain would complain ) had nothing but praise to share, as well some obvious envy! Others stopped by to ask how well it produces power and what the costs were to convert to AC. I'm very pleased with not only your easy build/install instructions, but the true rugged nature of your design. Plus, it's much quieter than I anticipated.

backwards about 2 feet in between gusts so I am going
to add guy wires as soon as the weather settles down some. My
highest current reading was 120 amps going to my 12 volt configured
L16 / 14x battery bank. The Hornet is just making far to much
power for my controller to handle so I will have to disconnect
for now. Battery is reading 15V+ so the small 50 amp controller
just can't keep up with the amperage dump needed. My 1200 Watt
electric heater was running all night long on my power inverter
too. Still reading 15+ volts, way to high. It did give me a great
idea for heating my whole home and not using any propane during
my wind storms. Do you make any 5000 Watt diversion loads? People
in my wind area would buy them.
